Muffin Tin Monday- Dad Lunch
Muffin Tin Monday doesn’t have a theme this week. I decided to create a lunch based on the blog’s theme which is Father’s Day. JDaniel loved the fact he was having a “Dad” lunch.
What is “Dad” lunch? You have chicken breast cut into a D, a cantaloupe A, and a cheddar cheese D in the first row. The second row has peaches set out in a D, an A made of raisins on cottage cheese, and a tortilla D.
JDaniel loves cottage cheese right now and peaches. The other foods are old favorites. I think Dad would have liked this lunch too. He would have wanted the peaches to be fresh though.

The Picky Apple did an wonderful Gardening Sensory Bin. I think JDaniel would love to have one of these.
Bug Books and Other Bug Related Activities
The Very Greedy Bee by Steve Smallman is about a bee that decides not to share a wonderful field of flowers he has found with his other hive mates. He eats it all himself and grows to big to fly. He needs the help of other insects to make it home. This book has a great lesson on sharing and helping others.
The Delicious Bug by Janet Perlman is also a book on sharing. The two lizards on the cover both catch the same bug. Neither one wants to let go of the plump bumble bug. They have an argument with their tongues out that takes them all around the pond they live near. The lizards have to learn to share and how to apologize to their neighbors for their rude behavior.
We made a bug out of two take-home boxes from Cracker Barrel. We went to Cracker Barrel while visiting with my mother-in-law this week.
Useless Unless Usual Understanding of Use Comes to Mind
If you need to stop a train coming down a track, he can do that too.
Birds Need a Good Book and Bugs
The birds kept flying around the shopping plaza looking for bugs for their families.
Ways My Toddler is Like a Bug
You know your toddler is like a spider if he tries to climb everything.
Yes, everything is a piece of climbing equipment. The outside of the stairs become something to scale. JDaniel saw his friend Jake do this and has tried to do it for months. He has tried to climb a tree. He wasn’t sure how to make it up a tree. JDaniel just clung to a branch and said he was climbing. The crib is something many toddlers learn to climb out of. JDaniel has raised one leg to the top of his crib, but didn’t know what to do next. I am not going to teach him.
You know your toddler is like a mosquito if he learns to make loud sucking noises on your arms.
I love to blow on JDaniel’s tummy when I change his diaper and make a loud air horn noise. JDaniel decided to start doing the same thing to my arm early last week. I thought he was trying to bite me a first, but it turns out he just didn’t know what to do with his teeth.
You know your toddler is like an ant when he can carry things that seem to weigh more than he does.
Maybe not his full weight but heavy objects seem to be moving around my house. I don’t think my husband and I moved them.
You know your toddler is like a moth when he can’t get close enough to lights.
JDaniel loves flashlights. My mom has one out near her front door and he can’t wait to light it up. He also loves to climb up on the couch in the living room and turn out the lamp beside the couch. JDaniel really loves to do it if you are reading and he wants you to play.
You know your toddler is like an earthworm when he can’t get enough dirt on his hand, clothes, face, or toys.
We haven’t spent a lot of time outside lately due to JDaniel’s allergies. When we were outside a lot earlier in the spring, JDaniel was carrying his plastic spade everywhere and using it to dig in the mulch and dirt.
Finally you know your toddler is like a caterpillar when he can inhale lots of foods and later wants to cocoon himself your arms to snuggle.
